Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

This thread is for requesting edits or unlocks to Locked Pages or for requesting locks. It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as:

  • creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through Trope Launch Pad
  • moving discussion pages
  • moving reviews

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
  9. Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
  10. Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.

NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

HighOctaneNightmareFuel.The Fear Mythos needs to redirect to NightmareFuel.The Fear Mythos for 38 inbounds.

On Horny Devils and Legal Jailbait, Shin Megami Tensei needs to be namespaced to Franchise/ for the former and Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey needs to be wiki worded and namespaced to VideoGame/ for the latter.

Excuse me. May you revert the Chaotic Evil entry on the Characters.Rance page back to Chaotic Neutral? The person who changed it to Chaotic Evil was a vandal who was recently banned and common consensus of the fanbase is that Rance is Chaotic Neutral. Of course, if you don't want D&D character alignments on a character page, I don't mind if you delete it.

[up] Actually, a good number of the tropes applied to the main character of Sengoku Rance should be moved to YMMV, particularly the D&D alignment... though I would argue that, despite Encrypted's insistence, Rance does read quite clearly as a very particular subtype of Chaotic Evil.

Also, considering the constant rape, shouldn't Villain Protagonist be somewhere on that page?

^^^ Well, the definition states that a Chaotic Evil person is someone who does what he wants even if it seriously hurts others. Someone who gleefully rapes and murders people fits that definition. But as Fighteer said, is it supposed to be there at all?

^ Agreed. Villain Protagonist should be on there.

[down] Yeah, sure.

Before we do a massive clean up of Characters.Rance, shouldn't we wait in the P5 decision on the rest of the franchise?

I'm just restating a point that seems to have gotten lost recently. Character Alignment does not go on main articles, character pages, or YMMV pages. It is not to be used, period, unless it's explicitly canonical.

[up][up][up] Well, we only covered one game in the franchise, and we gave it the keep-n'-clean treatment. How bad could the rest of the series be?

From what I understand from the one walkthrough I read, the rest of the series is less gameplay heavy, although I could be mistaken. If they do have a higher porn to gameplay ratio, it probably bears looking at.

Music.Weird Al Yankovic has three wicks on locked pages that need to be changed.

There's also a ghost link floating around somewhere. Thanks!

Damn, I missed some vandalization on the Rance page by Ape. Here's the ones I found, but there's probably more.

The Epic: rape should be replaced with Rance.

Our Ghosts Are Different: No, he did not rape a ghost. That was actually consensual sex. Seriously.

Our Zombies Are Different: That was consensual as well. >.<

Thanks in advance and for deleting the Chaotic Evil entry.

Actually, is it possible to simply revert the page to how it was before Ape edited it? It's when the vandalism started and there shouldn't have been any vandalism before that.

Please remove this sentence from the description of Sengoku Rance:

A Character sheet is now in progress. Contributions are always welcome.
It is no longer necessary and the character page is locked.

I am cleaning up misuse for Reptiles Are Abhorrent. Please make these two edits for Bible pages. I have done the edits on the respective Sandboxes.

The Reptiles Are Abhorrent entry in the tropes list should change to read this:

* Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Played straight with the story from Genesis, in which the snake is the bad guy. Played with in the incident involving Moses at Pharaoh's court where serpents representing the rival gods duke it out (guess who wins). Played straight in that all reptiles fall into the category of "unclean" species, and snakes are associated with Satan (himself called a dragon in Revelations). Double-subverted later in Exodus when a pillar with bronze snakes is set up to cure the Israelites of a plague — it later becomes a pagon idol.

Under New Testament, in the WMG: Satan section, the Reptiles Are Abhorrent example needs to be deleted entirely.

* Reptiles Are Abhorrent: He is often associated with snakes, and is described as a dragon in Revelation.

As redefined, this trope is not a character trope and should not be associated with individual characters like this. The above entry on the Literature/ page incorporates the relevant information into the correct entry.
